Chapter 41 - Responsibility

We stayed in Flousia for a few more days before returning home. Granda promised to visit us once he's done with some royal duties. Kyle went back to the U.S and promised he'll come back once he graduate.

I didn't tell Jayden yet about the possibility that I am pregnant. When we arrived in Queen's, Luke and the boys dragged him out to drink. Me and the girls went to the garden to have some tea.

"So are you pregnant?" Alora asked.

I'm not surprised. I already expected that they will ask me about it. I took a sigh and looked at them.

"I honestly don't know. I lost track of my period." I said.

"Here." Alora murmured while giving me a prenancy test.

We were shocked that she has this kind of thing.

"You're not the only one who doesn't use protection." She said.

"I-I'm scared." I admitted.

"Why? You don't like it?" Nina asked.

"Not really. Jayden was saying that he won't use protection so I can have her child but what if he's not serious about it? What if he already changed his mind? I mean we're still young. There are a lot of things he wants to do."

"He's not like that. You should know that, Peggy. Trust him." Sophie said.

"I trust him. It's just that, this is different. We're talking about having a baby."

We were silent for a moment when Emily sighed deeply.

"Try that first or we'll go and see a doctor. Then decide. But you still have to tell Jayden. It's also his responsibility."

I nodded and drank the tea.

After having tea with the girls, I went to my room to rest. I laid down on the bed while looking at the pregnancy test Alora gave me. Should I do it now? I really wanted to know but I'm scared.

I heard a few knocks and it was Alora who came in.

"It's better to do it in the morning." She said.

"What if it happens to you?" I asked.

"I'll be happy. When we adopted Zoey, I saw how Luke treats her. Everytime I see them together, I always imagining myself carrying his child." She said.

I can see that she's really sure about her and Luke. And I know Luke felt the same towards her.

"Are you not afraid? I mean we're young. We're in high school. Are you not afraid that people will look at you differently?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter. The only thing that matters to me is Luke. It's true, we're young and we haven't entered the world of the adults but when you decided to sleep with the man you love, you know the risks. Age is just a number for becoming a parent. Young or old, as long as you're ready to accept your responsibility, you'll be okay. I'm not saying we did the right thing, pre-marital sex and teenage pregnancy are not acceptable by everyone anyway, but it depends on you and Jayden on how you will face the issues together. No matter what happens, your family and us will support both of you as long as you do the right thing." She said in a reassuring tone.

"Thank you Alora. I'll do this tomorrow morning and consult a doctor."

She smiled and left me alone in the room. I soaked myself in the tub and rest my head. I've been very stressed lately and it's also a possibility why I always feel sick.

Why do I feel like I was floating? I was naked but I feel warm. I smell the scent of sugar and honey. It smells good. I slowly opened my eyes and I saw Jayden. I'm in his arms, he was carrying me.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You fell asleep. You scared me. I saw you in the tub, I thought something bad happened." He said, frowning.

"I just feel so tired." I answered simply.

"I know. So rest."

His gentle voice touched my heart. He really cares for me a lot. He gently put me down on the bed and went to the closet to get me some clothes. He helpmed me change and laid me down on the bed.

"Jayden I can do it myself. I'm not paralized." I chuckled.

"Tsk. Just shut up. I want to do this." He said, blushing.

I loved it when he sounds so manly and tough but then he blushed.

"Rest. I'll get you something to eat." He said.

"Will you cook for me?" I asked while smiling sweetly.

"I can't say no to that face." He smiled and leaned forward to give me a quick kiss. "So what do you want?"

"Pasta and garlic bread."

"Okay. Wait here. I'll make you the best pasta." He said, proudly.

I giggled. I don't even know if he knows how to cook. I decided to read a book while I wait for him in the room.

After an hour, he came back. He was wearing an apron. He looks hot and sexy. I smelled the scent of the pasta mixed with the scent of the garlic bread.

"You look sexy on that apron." I teased.

"Would you like me to serve you wearing only this?" He asked with a naughty smile on his face.

I rolled my eyes while he laughed.

He put down the plate and served the food to me. I really looks nice. He also knows how to prepare it. I looked at him, confused.

"Dad was busy working so I was assigned to do the house chores including cooking. I wanted to give him different meals everyday so I tried learning through the internet and youtube. I'm a good cook so you won't get hungry." He said and gave me a wink.

I smiled and picked up the fork. I tasted the pasta first and it was really good. He's not bluffing. It's delicious. I picked the garlic bread next and ate a small bite but when I tried to swallow it, my stomach rumbled. I felt sick. I stood up and rushed to the toilet. I threw up everything I have eaten so far.

Jayden followed. He was standing and leaning on the bathroom's door, his arms crossed.
